 There is no shortage of properties available for customizing various aspects of the Data table components.
 
+#### Fixed header
+
+Use the **fixed-header** prop together with the **height** prop to keep the header visible while scrolling through tall tables. Without a **height** constraint the header will not be sticky because the table itself has no overflow to scroll.
+
+::: info
+The **height** prop is required for **fixed-header** to work. Without it, the table expands to show all rows and there is nothing to scroll.
+:::

+<ExamplesExample file="v-data-table/prop-fixed-header" />
+
+#### Fixed footer
+
+Use the **fixed-footer** prop together with the **height** prop to keep the pagination footer visible while scrolling through tall tables. Like **fixed-header**, the **height** prop is required for **fixed-footer** to work.
+
+::: info
+The **height** prop is required for **fixed-footer** to work. Without it, the table expands to show all rows and there is nothing to scroll.

 #### Density
 
 Using the **density** prop you are able to give your data tables an alternate style.
